I am not too familiar with peninsular Arab phenotypes, and I could be wrong, but I notice a lot of people think they look mulatto. What do u think? And post examples. Sorry if I’m not doing this right, I am new to this

They are not darkwashedat all. Nobody thinks they look like mulattoes
Most people think that they look like this:

Look any West Eurasian group that does not look like Scandinavians gets darkwashed. That is how it is. Peninsular Arabs are called Sand Negroes. Spanish and Italians are called Mulattoes. Greeks, well there is the book Black Athena. The ancient Egyptians were sub Saharan blacks, and ET build the Pyramids.

Some of them have significant SSA admix, however even the ones without it can manage to be quite exotic looking.

No, not really. Actually most times they are whitewashed since they always get lumped together with their more northern neighbors who differ from them quite a lot.
Yeah, you can find examples of some members of NWA who do resemble them, but usually those individuals have ancestry that trace back to the Peninsula.

Funny thing is I’ve had one Omani guy try so hard to convince me I look Omani and told him he’s overreaching and he wishes I look Omani lol. They have too much negro blood for me to resemble them

West asia is a diverse region in regards to both the phenotype and genetics. Hence you can't say that there is a west asian scale to measure phenotype.

We are dealing with stereotypes that are entrenched. Good luck trying to change them. There were lots of complaints when a reconstruction of Cheddar Man was displayed with dark brown skin, and Mary Beard, an archeologist and historian, got a lot of flak over a cartoon of Romano Britons featuring a black man with a white wife.
